IP Phone Administrator Guide

You can populate your IP phone Directory List with server directory files. To 
activate this feature, you need to add the following parameters to the 
configuration files:

The IP phone recognizes the following characters in a Directory List:

A valid directory entry has a name, a URI number, and optional line number, and 
an optional mode attribute, all separated by commas. If a line number is not 
present, the entry is assigned to line 1. If a mode attribute (public or private) is not 
present, the entry is assigned to "Private".

The following directory entries are considered valid:

# our company's directory

# updated 1 jan 2012

# mode = private, by default

#

joe foo bar, 123456789, 6   

# line = 1, by default

# mode = private, by default

#

snidley whiplash, 000111222

# the parser ignores the COMMA # in the name

# mode = private, by default

#

"manny, jr", 093666888, 9

# the parser ignores the POUND # chars in the URI number

# mode = private, by default

#

hello dolly, "12#34#7", 2

’#’

Pound character; any characters appearing after 
the # on a line are treated as a comment

’,’

Comma character; used to separate the name, 
URI number, line, and mode fields within each 
directory entry.

’"’ 

Quotation mark; when pound and comma 
characters are found between quotes in a name 
field or URI number field, they are treated as 
regular characters.
